Abstract

This essay reviews four recent books (García-Lamarca 2022; Han, McKenna and Oyakawa 2021; Levenson 2022; Sobering 2022) that examine cases of more or less successful collective action in very different contexts: Argentina, Spain, South Africa and the United States, and speculates on the existence of similar processes at the root of the dynamics of contention.
